Stay inside. All you need to know.
Yep, this is turning out to be a year for the history books. In our area, at least. Our main restaurant burned down, a couple of days ago. The fire actually required two days to “get ‘er done” as they say locally. We’ve got another snow storm warning on the weather channel, and at the moment we are staying away from the windows. Not a weather thing; the police have asked people to stay inside, with their doors firmly latched, as they deal with an active shooter. At least, we think that’s what going on. News is hard to come by when the local station has one hour of airtime per day, and the rest of the feed comes from upper Canada. There’s always Twitter, right?
The staying inside might seem a bit far fetched. Or not: I asked she who drives the roads how long it takes to go from here to town, and the answer came back as “fourteen… maybe thirteen”. Minutes, you understand. Good road from here to there, a bit winding, but when the potato machines are parked, there’s not much to slow one down. If an active shooter decides to take one of the three ways out of town, knowing how to turn the key in that latch might be important.
Meanwhile, I did watch a live concert from one of the founding members of Seo Linn. I’ve had that group on my newsfeed for almost a decade, already. Good music deserves an audience. More and more, I’m turning to those “private” concerts, with two or three dozen online. Can’t go there, and they can’t come here, so we’ll use the gift of technology.
